The women managed to cheer up, talking and laughing, and walked all the way back to their homes.

Snapped!

The woman holding the child was the first to say goodbye to everyone. She raised her hand and weakly pushed open the rotten wooden door, stepped through the door frame, and coaxed her crying son into the home.

Wow, wow, wow, wow!

As soon as they entered the house, before the woman could stop and rest, the baby started crying more violently again.

"Don't cry, baby, yo, yo, yo."

So, she lifted up her clothes and made the greatest and most sacred act.

breast-feeding!

With his stomach filled to his heart's content, the baby's cries gradually subsided.

At this time, the frowning woman opened the lid of the rice vat. After seeing that the rice vat was about to bottom out, she felt unhappy.

These days,

Food is more valuable than human life!

As everyone knows,

How many families are starving to death!

"well."

After letting out a long sigh, the woman put aside the handful of wild vegetables with green juice in her hand.

Subsequently,

She washes rice and cooks rice.

However, the rice was even thinner than rice porridge.

A large pot of water mixed with a handful of rice grains, together with the wild vegetables just dug by the neighbor, constituted the family's meal.

The fire was burning brightly and the pot was boiling. At this time, the man of the house came back.

His face was wrinkled from years of exposure to wind and rain. He walked in with a numb face. When he saw the woman, his chapped lips finally wriggled a few times and asked, "Where is our daughter?"

"Going to fetch water."

After opening the lid of the pot and adding another spoonful of water, the woman sighed with a heavy heart.

"Um."

The man nodded and clasped a few copper plates firmly with his fingers.

He returned to the main room and sat down at one end, then silently lowered his head and looked at the copper plate and sighed without saying a word.

An eerie tranquility filled the air,

Apart from the gurgling sound of boiling water, there was no other noise.

Until half a while later,

This tranquility was broken by a sudden knock on the door.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There was a knock on the door, and the call from the visitor also appeared: "Sister, please open the door for us!"

"call..."

Hearing this sound, the woman who was about to turn off the stove breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the visitor is very wealthy,

I guess I don't like their pot of porridge.

Crunch!

When the door latch was removed, the door opened with a sound.

"Hey, hello."

A rosy-faced, wealthy woman walked in, a smile on her plump face.

"Sister, this is your house..."

After leading the woman all the way to the main hall, she looked at the environment in the room and said this.

"Your family, you won't have to worry about food and drink from now on!"

The woman looked around, then lowered her voice, but to the couple, the news was no less than thunder on the ground.

"What did you say?" The male host straightened his back with excitement, "Matchmaker, is there a rich family who has taken a liking to my daughter?"

really,

The woman showed a mysterious smile.

As a well-known matchmaker from all over the country, she could come to such a shabby place for this reason.

"You've hit the mark." The matchmaker covered her mouth with a handkerchief, laughing so hard that the fat on her body also trembled. "Someone has taken a fancy to your daughter, but, it's just..."

But then, the matchmaker looked embarrassed and changed the topic,

"It's just that this family is the Li family." Gritting her teeth cruelly, the matchmaker said the next words, "This time, I am a matchmaker for the eldest young master of the Li family."

Li family?

Isn't that a wealthy landowning family?

After hearing this, the male host's face was filled with joy.

but...

The woman holding the child was trembling all over, and her face turned red instantly: "Fuck you, what do you mean? The eldest young master of the Li family? Wasn't that the eldest young master of the Li family a few days ago..."

"The one who was trampled to death by a horse!"

...

"Fuck you motherfucker!"

The male host was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then became furious.

He slapped the matchmaker furiously, but the moment before the slap fell, he heard the matchmaker's disdainful snort.

"Let me ask you." The matchmaker didn't dodge, a cunning light flashed in her eyes, "With your family alone, can you two support this big fat boy?"

She pointed at the swaddled baby and asked loudly.

"Let me ask you again, how many of your family can survive in these troubled times?"

"I'm afraid I can't even afford food these days."

She sneered arrogantly, but soon changed to an eager expression.

"Sister." She held the woman's hand familiarly and sat down. "If you think about it again, I am also thinking about you. I am afraid that your family will starve to death."

"No need to say more!"

The woman shook her head with an indifferent expression.

However...

The male host's dark eyes burst out with a passionate light.

"Um, matchmaker." He stroked his beard with an apologetic smile, "What you said makes sense. But my daughter is still fine. I can't..."

"What can't be done?"

The matchmaker raised her hand,

"These days, isn't it common for someone to die? As long as you can do it, then..."

"no!"

The matchmaker's voice was interrupted by the woman. The woman's eyes turned red and she waved her arms to scratch the matchmaker's face.

"Shut up!"

However, what she received was an extremely swift slap.

"As for the Li family, we have to rely more on you."

Ignoring the woman who was slumped on the ground, the male host welcomed the matchmaker out of the house, and then forced a copper plate into the matchmaker's fat palm.

Whoosh!

Time froze, and the next moment, the scenery in front of Yunfan changed rapidly.

the sun sets,

Night falls.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There were three more knocks on the door.
